Professional interests:

- Women's health
- High-risk obstetrics
Hometown: Minneapolis, Minn.
I became a provider because: I wanted to pursue a career in women’s health and the best path was through medicine and as an OB/GYN provider.
If I wasn’t a provider, I would be: a fashion designer as I love fashion and love to be creative.
Something I have learned from my patients: is to be a great listener and not focus on the medicine alone.
My favorite book and movie are: The Notebook for both! I love the scenery of San Diego and Seattle as they reminded me of back home.
My personal health goal is: to be a good example to my patients and be a compassionate, hardworking provider.
The best thing I’ve done for my health is: to eat healthy and exercise for stress relieving methods.
A personal achievement I am proud of is: having one of the babies I delivered named after me. Also, finishing Residency and becoming the first physician in my family.
